by acts of secession, violating the Articles of Confederation. Only exercised a right. The South learned its constitutional law from Jefferson, Madison and Calhoun; not from Hamilton and Marshall. They considered secession as a constitutional remedy in 1861. They believed a separate confederacy with their constitutional riained himself as an equal in debate with the most illustrious statesmen in American history. He held his own with Chase and Douglas, Benton and Clay, Webster and Calhoun. As Secretary of War he never had his superior. During his administration the routes of the Pacific railroad were surveyed, the Capitol was extended, iron gun had no opportunities to develop the great qualities of Lee, the prince of commanders. As a statesman, he did not quite reach, perhaps, the commanding stature of Calhoun, to whose work he succeeded. As an orator, he may have lacked the impetuous fervor of Yancey, the splendid declamation of Lamar. He surpassed them all in his ma

Crawford and George M. Troup, from Georgia; Austin and Sam Houston, from Texas, and Madison and Patrick Henry, from Virginia, with a long illustrious list of others easily to be mentioned, sufficient to show that our materials to make the hall nationally attractive are in no danger of being exhausted, but in some States may prove embarrassing from their abundance.

f it forsakes us, we will adopt the measures which our safety requires, even if they endanger the peace of the Union and our connection with the other States. No protection; no allegiance. You see the right to secede was advocated by the North and West, and threats to avail themselves of this right were made by Northern Legislatures, leading statesmen, and petitioners in Congress. Through 50 years of our history this discussion continued, and the eloquence of Webster and the logic of Calhoun were exhausted while no satisfactory conclusion was reached. Finally, when the Southern States, for grievances that are fresh in our memories, and far outweighed all the fancied evils that New England suffered, or all the trials the Mississippi Valley settlers bore, withdrew from the Union and reasserted their sovereignty, they were coerced by Federal powers, and falsely represented, not only to the world, but to our own children, as traitors and rebels.

a Review of Bledsoe's able work. From the Times-dispatch, October 20-27, 1907. An Epitome of the views of Webster, Calhoun and other famous statesmen. By Frederick Wilmer Sims, Louisa, Va. Is Davis a Traitor, or Was Secession a Constitutionntion in absolute silence, is peculiarly instructive and interesting reading. In this connection will be remembered Mr. Calhoun's suggestion, in his debate with Mr. Webster in 1833, that this phraseology—We, the people, etc.—was used as expressinhole, acting individually and nationally, with respect to the nationel powers delegated. It will be remembered that Mr. Calhoun brought all the weight of his great character and fervid eloquence to maintain the affirmative of that proposition; athan that delivered by him in his perhaps more famous debate with Mr. Payne. Indeed, it seems to have been assumed by Mr. Calhoun as an elemental and unassailable proposition, and conceded by Mr. Webster (strange as it may seem now, reviewing the q

nized, and considered as the corner-stone of the social edifice. But the upholders of slavery did not stop here; after having declared it to be profitable and necessary, they proceeded to proclaim its moral excellence. A new school, of which Calhoun was the principal apostle, the teachings of which were accepted by all the statesmen of the South, assumed the mission of holding up the social system founded upon slavery as the highest state of perfection that modern civilization had reached. e the last resort when slavery should be in danger, a constitutional theory was needed to justify it. This was found in the dogma of the absolute sovereignty of the States —a doctrine which had for its apostle, between the years 1830 and 1840, Mr. Calhoun, the foremost statesman of South Carolina, who soon came to be considered as the palladium of the peculiar institutions of the Southern States. It is sufficient to sum up this doctrine in a few words, to show how specious and dangerous it was

at of the guns posted along the shore. The attack was nevertheless determined upon. At seven o'clock on the morning of the 14th the three Federal vessels, the Calhoun, the Kinsman and Estrella, ascended the Teche, whilst the Diana was conveying over to the left bank a body of troops which had been landed the day before on the oll of the Kinsman, without, however, causing any serious leak. But the dread of these fearful engines stopped two of the Federal vessels. Buchanan, on board the Calhoun, did not permit himself to be intimidated, and, immovable on the bridge of his vessel, steered it direct against the enemy's works. A shower of balls fell aroundby which it was defended. The garrison, entirely occupied by the naval combat, did not even make an effort to resist this new attack, but dispersed at once. The Calhoun was released. The Confederate artillery fell into the hands of the assailants, and the Cotton retired slowly up the Teche, but she encountered the troops that ha

leave some troops in New Orleans, at Baton Rouge, and along the coast, he had only three divisions Left—about fifteen thousand strong—with which to begin the campaign; five or six gunboats were to accompany him. On the 9th and 10th of April he landed Emory's and Weitzel's divisions at Berwick City, in front of Brashear, on the other side of the Atchafalaya. During this time Grover's division, which had embarked on board three transports and the four gunboats, the Clifton, the Estella, the Calhoun, and the Arizona, was to proceed to the south side, more to the westward, and by rapid sailing occupy, between the lake and the bayou, the only line of retreat open to the troops who might have resisted the attack made in front by Banks. But in order to secure complete success this double operation should have been conducted with great speed; and Banks' army was not accustomed to rapid marches and sudden attacks. Much precious time was lost on both sides in long reconnoissances and usele

rsons were frequent partakers of her hospitality, and knew the refined attractions of her home, which kept her husband's heart constantly there, wherever his onerous public duties might call him, for she was a perfect housekeeper, and worshipper of art in all its branches. The radiance of the azaleas in her conservatory in the snow-bound days of February, due to her personal care, is far famed. One of the best pictures of her shows her seated in this bower. Tuskegee, Hampton, Berea and Calhoun, the colleges devoted to the education of colored students, are indebted to Mrs. Stearns for most liberal yearly contributions of pecuniary aid from the start, nor have her private benefactions been less liberal and judicious. Tufts College and the Boston Homoeopathic Hospital are handsomely remembered in her will, and this Society is the residuary legatee of portraits of historic value— one of them being that of the builder of this house, Convers Francis—and other appropriate gifts.
